To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.

I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.

I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.

I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.

I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.

Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.

Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

that's ridiculous. there are some things that the human mind just can't handle. it doesn't mean you're weak, it just means you're human. they have drugs, they have scientifically proven brainwashing methods, all kinds of stuff. they follow up on their threats.

I think Buenaventura Durruti is a pretty cool guy. eh kills fascists and doesnt afraid of ruins.The quickest way to kill a revolution is to wait for it.

I don't know what I'd do if I was stuck in a place like that. Back when I was 13/14 I know I wouldn't have been mentally strong enough to withstand that sort of thing. Now, I dunno, maybe. I know a lot more now. But I still don't know if I'd make it. I know I wouldn't give in to their shit, though. I'd rather die than become what they want to turn me into. But I wouldn't kill myself. At least, I don't think so. Come to think of it, I'd probably just pass the time thinking happy thoughts or something. Or trying to. But I've never been there, nor do I ever want to...

Brainwashing is one thing.
But if a brat camp or something like that is going to deal with you, then they can't really do much to have you do stuff exept brainwashing...if the beatings fail, they give you drugs.
But to me, a pure body state is what keeps you strong, don't give in to their stupid pills.

Rebelnerd Wrote:see, you've got the right idea. if death is inevitable, don't speed it with suicide. go down fighting.

I don't agree.
Suicide is a stupid act indeed, but when you die, taking more lives with you is even more dumb.
If you kill someone that has wronged you, let them die themselves, don't speed up their death with a petty shooting.

If you don't want to speed your death up, then don't speed their's.

But a self defense purpose is a whole different page.

This very anti-school website is still here ? Why isn't this place shut down yet ?

There are reasons why behavior modification schools exist! They exist, because parents might've ran out of ways to deal with their unruly children and speaking from experience, neither reasoning nor time outs would work for most unruly brats I know and those facilities can effectively scare the most unruly children into good, productive, law-abiding citizens. If those children actually died in those places, then it's their own fault they did and I truely believe those same pesky brats deserved death, esp. when they've reject their parents' authority.

Parents and legal caretakers/guardians own their children, until the filthy brats themselves turn 30.

Slavemistress. Ive always wondered if you were serious about your posts. They are pretty damn dumb. A parent who cant take care of their own children doesnt deserve to have any children. Something to consider before getting babies.

All people need freedom to act and to learn. Children are people too. The only way a person becomes truly healthy and self sufficient is by learning from their own free actions. Hitting a child for doing something wrong not only interferes with this freedom but it psychologically scars them.

Quote:it's their own fault they did

It was their fault completely, except for the getting killed part.

Quote:can effectively scare the most unruly children into good, productive, law-abiding citizens

Good, productive, and law-abiding citizens are harmful to society and people but a friend to big business and the government. We gain freedom only when radicals show us the stupidity of our actions and then they inspire us to act.

A parent gives birth to a child, so it's their natural right to do whatever they desire with it and yes, I'm always serious about my posts.

So, are you implying that we shouldn't punish criminals, because you believe it interferes with their "ability to learn" and their so-called "freedom to act"? That's a very ridiculous statement you've made here. If criminals can't learn from their mistakes, then they need to be severely punished.

If those pesky brats didn't want to end up at those gulags and die there, then they should've obeyed their elders' authority at all costs.

That's one of the most foolish statements you've ever made. Governments and corporations exist for many reasons. Those "radicals" you speak of are probably terrorists, who desire the annihilation of society and civilization altogether.

Toucanman, you're a complete fool! That creature from your disturbing and disgusting picture of yours is a blood-thirsty zombie, not one of those mythical cave-dwelling monsters of Scandinavian forklore.

Quote:A parent gives birth to a child, so it's their natural right to do whatever they desire with it

Why does giving birth confer ownership?

Quote:So, are you implying that we shouldn't punish criminals

Actually I am. Punishment creates obedience based on fear and not respect. Punishing creates weak people. I am against prison as punishment and I am very wary of them as places to keep people away from society. The power of government to imprison can be easily abused.

Quote:they should've obeyed their elders' authority at all costs.

You keep insisting that elders are better than youth and that youth should follow their elders orders without complaint or thought. You have insisted this many times but have not shown any proof. Prove it to me.
